Question

Dell M4600 vs. Thinkpad W530

I am making the jump from a desktop workstation to a mobile laptop workstation due to my responsibilities with system administration for Creo and Windchill.


I am on the fence about the brand because I am very familiar with Dell Workstations as we use them for all Engineers but our company uses Thinkpads exclusively for our Regional Sales Managers.


How do Dell Laptops hold up in comparison to Thinkpad's?


Is there an advantage of one over the other?


any input is appreciated

I bought the m4600 last year and really like it. The kicker for me was the keyboard layout includes a numerical keypad, not available in the 15.6" thinkpad..
Most of the time my computer sits closed on a docking station while I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse with a 22" monitor.
I took the nvidia GeForce and that works fine.
